Weird scratches beneath the screen

DAMN IT!
Got some weird scratches/marks beneath the screen.
It's only visible in low light surroundings, and on a black background, but it's very very ugly.
When I made this thread a few similar posts came up.
Apparently it's a known problem on the S2 and note too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335423
I can't make a picture of it right now. Will try tomorrow.
Somebody made this to explain what it looks like.
Mine is like this, but much worse

I'm going return it tomorrow, and hope they give me a refund, so I can buy another one straight away (and check it off course). And hope I don't have to wait for 3 weeks for the repair/replacement

Is it there when the screen is off?
If not then it's not scratches. I think its an AMOLED thing. I notice it when my SGS2 freezes on a black screen. But not there when powered down or back up again.

Exactly. When i first saw my sgs1 under direct sunlight i thught that was broken. Later i discovered that the lines ias seeing was the circuitry under the screen. You can see iy under direct sunlight when the screen is off.

I don't see any spots or ink marks on my GS2 at all. But seems like a lot of the GS3's are having these spots.
Some have exchanged their phones for those with a lot less of of those markings.

It's only there when the screen is on, but it's actually visible in daylight now I know it's there.

I read somewhere that this is a residual issue caused by the bonding glue they use t to attach the glass, they should fade as the glue dries, but keep any eye on it and nuke 'em if it doesn't!

Yeh galaxy nexus has a similar thing its the amoled display some of the pixals are not turning fully of, I think that was the conclusion .
But only noticeable in very dark room with the screen black and when your eyes adjust. Could be wrong without a pic I can't say.

I think its an inherent flaw with AMOLED panels. It looks like patches of the screen do not go as dark as the rest of the screen.
Some screens are brighter than others in general though, among the same phone. This Nexus was brighter than another one I had at the same time, at both lowest and highest settings, and had less black dots on black screen, presumably because the screen was brighter overall.
Doesn't mean to say I won't check for the problem before I purchase though

Well I exchanged it for a new one.
This one is flawless
I'm glad I bought it in a physical store now vs online!

Yep I have the exact same thing with my SIII but not as bad as yours. What did you do about your SIII? Did you return it? I notice it mostly on a black background whilst watching films/videos mine isn't really that noticeable on my SIII but still pretty annoying.

Screen burn in

Within 3 days of owning the note i have burn in already how is this possible. when the brightness is on the lowest setting and your on a screen with a black or grey background you can easily see back scribble marks all over from when i was in s note just drawing lines everywhere playing around. Its not like i drew them and just left the screen on for a day to burn it in either

Samsung Service is really good and they replaced my hard bricked Galaxy Ace's motherboard for free under warranty.

i asked amazon but i dont want to return it and be without a phones for 2 weeks. they told me i should buy another one then return this one for a refund. the notes on amazon are not fullfilled by amazon now so if i get one through another dealer and theres a problem i just dont feel like dealing with them for a refund

Well, even if you returned it to Samsung for repair, you'd be without it for a few weeks, so your choice really is quite simple.
Put up with it, or return it.

R U sure its burn in..its look like "screen bleeding" to me..

daft suggestion but have you tried cleaning the screen?
it doesn't "burn" like a crt so you shouldn't see it when dark if there was a problem.
could it just be grease marks?

yeah its not the screen its clean as could be. i downloaded a screen burn-in tool and when it cycles through the colors and gets to red. u can see where the marks are but there blurry almost like they were bleeding. but all other colors u cant see the marks. but if i open up a black screen and turn the brightness down u can clearly see the black marks from when i was just scribbling lines on s-note. its def in the screen its not marks its burnt in

heres another pictures taken in the dark with a greyish background with the lowest brightness

Don't worry about the black dots, because that's a common problem for amoled screens. I also have it on my s3 that I have changed 4 times because of this problem. But sometime you can be a lucky and get one without this issue.

anyone else see grid of silver dots in sunlight?

Hey everyone,
My nexus 4 screen shows a perfect grid of silver dots when I am in sunlight. It seems to happen at certain angle. Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks

It's normal, it's just the touch screen digitiser - same with my One X

Thanks for the quick reply! Good to hear there isn't a problem.

Yeah that's just the digitizer. It has something to do with LG moving the screen closer to the glass so the digitizer is more visible than past phones

The only thing that sucks about that is if the screen breaks so does the digitizer

What about when the screen is off? mine has grid of dots on the screen is off and i can see it also when it is on. thought first it is a stain under the screen protector but it is not.

Thats LCD IPS for ya

I just went to a Telus store to get a new micro SIM, and looked at the screens of the HTC One X+, Galaxy S3 and Note2, couldn't see this grid pattern on any of them. I don't see it on mine if I'm in a room with no sunlight, but soon as there is sunlight its very noticeable. Walking outside soon as I take my phone out its all I can see. I'm worried I have something wrong or defective.

If that is normal take a photo of your phone with the same thing. I have not found any hi-res images of the Nexus 4 with this sort of pronounced visible grid pattern.
I contacted Google Play support via chat and they said it's not normal and I should RMA. But I'm still not 100% confident Its a defect and my replacement won't just be the same.

that is normal, there is actually two patterns, the silver dots and one with rectangle boxs like lol, not sure how to describe it. your phone is fine.

Its normal. I had the HTC inspire 4g, and the lg optimus g and they had the same thing.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Then why does no other phone have this visible? I compared it side by side with a HTC One X+, Galaxy S3, Note2 and none of them had any visible grid of tiny rectangles.
None of the photos I've seen of the Nexus 4 screen have any of this visible. Its not just with sunlight, any light makes it visible, almost has a textured look.
If this is normal then I'm really disappointed in this phone, seems like a glaring difference between the it and the other popular phones, that's why i think its not normal, i never saw any reviews mention anything like this.
If i take a photo of my phone at either of these angles I could clearly see the grid, but these 2 random photos show nothing

I can sometimes in the correct light and angle see the shinny silver dots, this is no what i'm talking about and not what my photo clearly shows.

The pattern is a grid of rectangles in this type of shape (excluding dots)

As usual, customer support is useless.

Normal due to NO gap in between digitizer and glass paneling. LG did this intentionally and is why you can see it. Other manufacturers DONT do it due to being able to see digitizer. LG did it intentionally and it is normal.

Also the reaspning behind WHY digitizer is useless after glass paneling breaking versus SIIIs paneling and others still being functional. Because the glass paneling doesn't automatically break digitizer when breaking because of the gap.

I said I can see it when the screen is on, even with a tilt as little as 5 degrees. My friend who also has a Nexus 4 says his is not that noticeable and can only see it with a much greater tilt degree.
If this is normal why did the Google tech support say its not normal and told me to warranty my phone? But I know the tech support is probably not great and they might just say that to anything. But I sent them the photo of my screen and that's what they said.
So I really don't know what to think, people in this thread say its normal, but Google support says its not...
I really don't want to go through the hassle of sending in my phone for warranty if I just get back a phone with the same quirk.
As I posted before, why don't some others post some angled photos of there screens in daylight.

Who knows why they say that. If you believe them then go to town and quit asking us why. Believe them and get a replacement with the same thing lol. People ask questions on here and then get an answer and don't believe anything they get as a response haha

Hm... Try imgur.com. (You don't need an account for it.)

I had this problem with my ATT model

the hot spot in the center usually happens with cmos cameras looking at flat gray colors (like a gray floor)

It might be a bad sensor like we had on the m7. The sensors temps would skyrocket and cause colored noise or something to that expent. Have the phone cool down by turning it off for awhile and when u turn it on launch the camera and see if the pink tint is there. If it appears a few moments after it might be the same issue.

Samsung has already acknowledged this issue as a hardware issue in some initial phones and said that the issue is fixed in newer phones. Get your phone replaced. It is not OK to dismiss this as something that is universal. This is specific issue affecting some users.

No, They are not doing this just for camera failed error phones. They replaced S5 (exynos version) which had exactly this issue. Pink smudg / hue over entire picture. Even in some moderately lit areas without any grey objects.
In the dark, yes, it does get noisy and blue/purplish on all S5s. But this should not happen in daylight. But it is on some units. I talked to the service supervisor when initially the desk clerk refused to acknowledge the issue. But they indeed had memo from Samsung to either replace the camera units or the phones (those who claimed DOA) if customers complained about this issue.
This is not usual chromatic aberration issue. This is different. It is not happening only on the edges. It is like there is some filter in front of your entire lens. I wish I had saved those images to show what the issue is. I ended up returning the phone in the end. Getting new one in couple of weeks.

Dark blotches in low brightness

I've just bought this phone yesterday. I've noticed that there are black blotches at the screen (on whole status bar and upper left part of the screen) when viewing dark gray backgrounds at low brightness. Is this normal? This is my first Oneplus phone and also my first phone that has OLED screen.
Edit: I've been looking into it and reading some post and it turns out that this is common on OLED display a couple of years ago. Is it still common with OLED today?
Edit2: added images here

Btw, i have 8/128 midnight black variant

Anyone that is also having this issue?

Are you just talking about the phone when the screen is off and you can see light reflecting off it and notice dark kind of blotches on the screen in places
I did notice something like this last week but put it down to condensation or something similar.
I still have the factory supplied screen protector on so perhaps that's got something to do with it.
Would hate to think it's some kind of damage or burn in or something but doubt that,phones only 2 weeks old

It 's the third oneplus 6t that change for this problem and all those I could test are the same including the last changed 2 days ago'.e' a defect of the amoled of all Oneplus, but also Huawei, for example the Mate 10 Pro. Who did not notice was not careful enough, because they certainly had the same problem. Do not worry you can replace it as many times as you want but it will never be perfect, I suggest you keep what you have, because you could get worse, you have to just learn to live with it.

Aw. I was waiting for someone to confirm this. I knew that this was a problem of amoled a few years ago. I've looked everywhere and I can't find recent articles or post about this for amoled so I assumed that it should not exhibit this issue at this day. Sucks that I have to read your post after I sent it for exchange.

I have a similar issue. For me in low brightness with grey background or in those screen test apps I have a dark stripe centered from top to bottom and some brighter stripes left and right of the dark one.
I think I just have to live with it as it's in low brightness only.

the last one I changed has the only problem .. just from another part of the screen. If I knew I would not have made these changes.

So your first device does not have this issue?

There are good ones out there like mine. Though you need to get lucky to get a really good one. There's always a risk you will get the issue but amoled screens are better overall than a few years ago.

I RMA mine. Hopefully I get a new one without this issue

I bought OP6T in a chain of stores .. I changed three devices and three new ones all had the defect somewhere, you could also do RMA infinite, the problem will recur. The image posted before the other user, probably is not has been tested with all colors. For example, one of the 3 my devices does it with green, another one was gray. So you can be sure that the next device that will give you will still have the defect. even if you probably will not notice it. do RMA because the Oneplus displays are of mediocre quality.
